    In 1959, during his live 'Evening Wasted With' LP, Harvard math professor Lehrer stopped his singing to say: I hope you don't think I do THIS for a living. Why, I can make five or six thousand dollars a year JUST TEACHING." "

    Adding 'em to 'Sound Savers' or 'Factory Sealed for Your Protection'. Or, more specifically: 'Includes the hit single, 'What A Fool Believes'

    It gets idiotic Stateside with completists who trim and save the hype stickers slapped on the LP shrink wrap. No claims of 'aesthetics' or 'inherent artwork' should include stick-on marketing hokum.

    In 1973, Jerry Ragavoy produced this excellent smooth soul 'classic LP.

    My entry in the fish-nor-fowl thread is this singular jazzy track (on Beatles' Apple label) with Billy Preston on organ and Leon Russell, piano. Who knew?

    As I began my first radio DJ stint in '69, a cart of Mendes' hit, 'Fool On the Hill' was a go-to airplay favorite. Sergio's albums for A&M have been in my collection and then to Elektra and Verve. My fave track from his 'Brasileiro' (1992):

    from 'Makossa Man', the 1974 Atlantic LP follow-up to 'Soul Makossa'.
